Hi,

I think the new artworks suck.
Check out the Edward the Great, Run to the Hills 2001 single and the
Vision of the Beast DVD, they all look cheap and not as impressive and
In-Your-Face as the old Derrek Riggs stuff. Ok, it's Eddie, but damn
he's looking bored.

So enought with these computer-made-3D-boring Eddie artwork, bring
back Derrek or another person who can make the eddie we like. The one
who IS evil.

Many people prefer spanish to the AltaVista translation. So at least an url
to the original text would be nice ;)

Based on his more recent work with Gamma Ray and Stratovarius, I'm not
so sure I miss him.

Personally I thought that although the artwork was kinda interesting,
the horror element didn't really match Maiden's songs which were often
fairly sophisticated (maybe not the right word :)

They were obviously good for publicity

Who drew the covers for "Best of the B-sides" and "BBC Archives"?

Oh, yeah, I see it in the booklet of ARLDO. Except here it's Capitol
Records, not the Bleeding Bodger Company ,-)

And I trust the Beast Over Hammersmith is an even older Riggsy pic?

> B-sides was Mark Wilkinson.

Hmm... It's pretty good... The Maiden guys should hire him for the new
album...
